For example, vegetables are generally healthier than meat because they contain more nutrients, less fats e.t.c. Why do certain food categories have properties that make them healthier than others?

That would be an unhealthy practise rather than type. For example, the opposite of health, which is to do ‘un’ health would be to damage you directly. For example something like gatorade can be argued it has ‘more hydration’ but the lack of drinking that over water doesnt make water unhealthy. However eating only meat can lead to scurvy which is an unhealthy practise. The difference between practise and actual poison has people pointing fingers at regular foods which have been safe for years(protein, carbs, fat).

One thing that does direct health damage, in any dose and is well known is alcohol. Enough of it makes people vomit it out and yet they do this regularly which makes you question the actual importance of health to most.
